At the Damien Family's ancestral home. Pinning Sahara to the ground, Johnathan pulled her by the hair and lifted her face, forcing her to look at Hilda. Hilda was standing in front of Sahara who looked like a useless slob while looking down at the latter. No one in the Damien Residence dared to utter a sound even when Sahara, their Young Lady... no, their master was pinned to the floor. Instead, they walked away tacitly. "Are you going to say it?" Hilda asked fiercely once again. Sahara clenched her teeth with all her might. "Don't you dare think I will." Winnifred's secret was her strongest card, so she would never disclose it to Hilda. Hilda looked at Sahara who was still stubbornly resisting with a sneer. Taking a box from Francis, she opened it to see that it was a box of ampules, and there were only nine ampules left. These were none other than the miraculous drug that was closest to Sahara's heart! Sahara's expression changed drastically. Hilda picked up an ampule and
Staring at her daughter, Connie advised in all sincerity and said, "I used to believe in neither supernatural beings nor the story about heaven and hell. I also had no idea what my bottom line was, for all I wanted was to expand my sphere of influence. Once I had money, power, and influence in my hands, I'd have the final say in the law. I never cared about my bottom line, but ever since you showed up in front of me with cuts and bruises all over your body..." Connie looked grieved as she spoke of this. One could still notice several tiny, irremovable scars on Hilda's face if one looked closely when she was bare faced. It was as if these scars were reminding Connie of the sufferings her daughter had experienced. "Hilda, one's bottom line can't be crossed until there is no other choice, unless there's something more valuable than your bottom line that needs your protection. Nobody knows if one will be punished for doing something against their conscience, but everything is predestine
When Elizabeth left, Jerome was still enraged. Meanwhile, when Arlo, who was in the study, learned that Connie was Connie Jordan, he was so impressed that he hastily did an online search to find out more information. However... "Dad, take a look at this!" At that moment, Jerome was still shocked at the fact that Connie was the Connie Jordan and that she was about to marry the Count. In a trance, he saw the tablet that was handed to him by Arlo. There was a young man on the screen. The photo was old and blurry but it was still vaguely visible, the man in the photograph was handsome and tall. In fact, his features were very similar to a young Jerome's! His name was Adrian Damien. He was Connie's late husband and their daughter was Hilda Adams. All at once, Jerome was thunderstruck. It took a while before he came back to his senses. "Dad, no wonder Connie always chokes up whenever she calls you 'Jerome'. It was because you look a lot like her husband!" Arlo was outraged. "Now I k
When they came home, Luna burst into tears as soon as she saw her father. Then, the same thing happened with her uncle when Adwoa came over. "Mister Handsome will definitely call you, don't worry!" Hilda promised. In the midst of her cries, Jerome finally called. Luna picked up and instantly stopped wailing. Sitting next to her, Hilda listened to the phone call and heard that it was indeed Jerome's voice coming from the other end. Not only that, even his tone was exactly the same. Meanwhile, Luna dried her tears and sobbed as he spoke on the phone. "Don't cry, Luna. I'll come and visit when I'm done with work. Have a good new year! Don't cry anymore, alright?" Jerome's voice was extremely gentle. Drying her tears, Luna blubbered, "Okay, come visit soon!" "Good girl. Wait for me." Jerome replied. After hanging up, Luna was still depressed. Even though she knew that Jerome left because of an emergency and that it wasn't because he didn't like her anymore, Luna still wept wheneve
At Smith City, Jerome and the rest had safely arrived from Taadi City after more than a forty hour bumpy ride. In fact, it had been some time since Jerome was away. Hence, he was swamped with work and could only get three or four hours of sleep every night. He would often overwork himself to the point where he would fall asleep instantly as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was afraid that his mind would wander endlessly if he had even a second of free time. Despite that, he hadn't been well rested since he returned because he kept having nightmares. "Mister Handsome, where did you go?" Luna's cries would echo in his ear from time to time and the dream would center around Connie's deep, yet emotionless gaze. "Jerome, Jerome..." "Ah!" Screaming, Jerome woke from his dream, only to realize he was still in his bedroom without Connie or Luna. When his hand reached up to touch his face, he realized he had been crying. What is going on? He was anxious all night and couldn't fal
Oliver and Oscar who had been causing troubles recently in Taadi University had once again stepped on Hilda's toes with their crazy acts. After class, they headed to the parking lot. Because it was noon and there was no cafeteria near the gymnasium, there weren't many people around. Occasionally, there would only be a few people who were just passing by. At that moment, Oliver felt his hair stand up and he suddenly felt uneasy. Indeed, the street in front of them was suddenly filled with a row of people. Instantly, the brothers recognized them. Isn't that Hilda and her minions? There were three of them, Hilda, Johnathan, and Lily. Two women, and only one man who could actually fight. As such, they did not take them seriously, as there were seven or eight of them on their side. "What? Did you finally change your mind about having fun with us?" Oliver walked toward Hilda, his eyes wandering up and down her slender figure that not even her winter clothes could cover. Despite that
One day, Elizabeth brought Winnifred to the Smith Group and told them that she was their sister whom they had never met before. On top of that, she would be replacing them as the Taadi regional person in charge of the Smith Group. If she was one of Elizabeth's other children, they would've made a fuss about it, even if it was Arlo or Milo. After all, the Bowen brothers were spoiled since young and were told that they were the kings of the world. Jerome had never scolded them and their two elder brothers doted on them too. Unexpectedly, their sister, who appeared out of nowhere, took them under control and caught them off guard without considering their pride. As a result, the princes who were born with silver spoons in their mouths were suddenly struck by the cruel reality. As soon as Winnifred came, she overturned all their ways of working and thoughts, she even dismissed their plans and fired their men. The Bowen brothers tried to fight her but to their dismay, they lost. Soon,
Since a long time ago, she knew the other pair of brothers, Arlo and Milo, were more astute. Do these two pairs of twins come from the same parents? Could it be that the real babies were thrown away and they were cultivated, from placentas? After giving them a brief warning, Winnifred grabbed her bag and walked away while saying, "I'm going to Taadi University." Oscar was severely injured from the beatings and he was moaning on the bed. On the other hand, Oliver was in a better condition and he could still sit. Glancing at Oscar, who was moaning in pain, he could barely conceal the hatred on his swollen face which was beyond recognition. "You must capture whoever attacked us today and bring them to us!" Giving him a contemptuous look, Winnifred murmured, "I'm going there to apologize on behalf of the both of you." Upon hearing that humiliating word, Oliver's eyes became even more ferocious. At the same time, he clenched his bruised and wounded fists. "We're the ones who were
